TAG.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 747,593, dated December 22, 1903. Application filed October 10, 1902. $erial No. 126,642. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SIMON DANCYGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dayton,

in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tags; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and

exact description of the invention, which willenable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawtening after passing the same through the ma-.

terial so that it rests between said card and material. The object is accomplished by the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which-- Figure l is a view of the under side of the device. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a side view of the tag as attached to the material.

Like letters and numerals designate like parts in the several views.

The quadrangular piece of paper A is the card or ticket on which is written or printed price, number of yards, &c., as suitable for merchandise. The fastening B is formed of wire, which is firstformed as a staple, the two legs made to perforate the card near the "being nearly in line with the face of the card.

edge. The outer leg 1 is bent inwardly down on the surface of the card. The leg 2 is likewise bent, but in an outward direction, and this leg terminates in the point 4, in which is the reverse bend or curve 3, the terminal The tag is attached to the surface of the material by penetrating the same beyond the shoulder or bend in the point. The point is then turned beneath the card, as shown by dotted lines at 3, Fig. 1. The reverse bend in the shaft renders the wire more pliable at this point and is therefore more readily carried beneath the card, as before indicated. The turning of the point between the card and material makes the fastening secure, and J the point is hidden. The bend determines the width of the engaged portion and forms the yielding place in turning the point beneath the card.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim is As an improved article of manufacture the tag comprising the card, the wire fastening clenched thereto, the outer leg bent inwardly, the inner leg bent outwardly both upon the face of said card, the inner leg provided with a reverse bend abutting the edge of said card, and the point of the latter adapted to turn under the card as a means to a secure fastening, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

SIMON DANCYGER.
